Plant Science Research Weekly -- Transposase-assisted target-site integration for efficient plant genome engineering (Nature) @mcliupeng @Slotkin_Lab (Summary by Ching Chan @ntnuchanlab) buff.ly/3zZftuT #PlantaePSRW
So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in @Naturepub. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by @mcliupeng. nature.com/articles/s4158…. 🧵
Scientific journal @Nature has published research authored by scientists in our @Slotkin_Lab. The publication focuses on a technology called TATSI, which enables faster and less expensive production of improved plants. Learn more: loom.ly/cTNDkKc
The @Slotkin_Lab @DanforthCenter is hiring a new laboratory technician. Lots of cool work to be done on transposable elements! Please retweet to spread the word! paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php…
Applications for the Plant Physiology Assistant Features Editor program (volunteer positions) are being accepted between now and October 15, 2024. Who should apply? Late-stage PhD students & postdocs who want to expand their horizons and skillsets. More ➡️ blog.aspb.org/plant-physiolo…
Peng Liu, PhD, is a senior research scientist at the Danforth Center, where he focuses on genome editing and transposable elements in key crops. Learn more about his work: loom.ly/aNJ7j-E

Excited to represent @Slotkin_Lab at my first Keystone Symposia! The organization is top-notch, and the talks and posters have been truly inspiring. Thrilled to be a part of transposable element community! @KeystoneSymp #KSTransposons24
I'm truly honored to have chaired the "Current Advances in Plant Gene Editing" session at #PlantBio2023! A huge thank you to all the speakers for delivering insightful talks to our engaged audience! @MishDivya,@Armandomics,@TsaiLabUGA,Nicholas Ruppel,barbara Marques.@Slotkin_Lab
Proud PI hearing about the lab’s presentations at #PlantBio2023. Talk today by @mcliupeng, with Kaushik Panda on deck. And posters by @mariannekrame45 & @yuhunghung. Great work!
The #PlantScienceSaturday crew is ready! Stop by and join in the fun! This initiative is inspired by members who wanted to give back to our host cities' communities. Learn more, and/or join us! plantbiology.aspb.org/plant-science-… #PlantBio2023 @ForsythFarmMkt
The Slotkin Laboratory was a great host for our visit to the Danforth Center! They even included us on their Mississippi River float. The two undergraduate students I brought really benefited from seeing a productive plant science team.
